I can see both Jack Allen and Landon Turner getting big reps in the preseason to guage how ready they are for the prime time spotlight.

Oh great. We've got a slow footed tackle and an undersized center. We need to sign or trade for a veteran.

Ha! Way to crash the party Rugby.

I kind of agree though. These two will be working their tails off to make the practice squad.

It's not so much his measurables vs NFL norms, it's his size in the type of zone block scheme the Saints utilize could make his fit, well, problematic...

For Brees' Pocket Protection, Saints use a three man wedge/crenellation (castle battlement) using big long tackles to swing pass rushers out on longer arcs...

Don't see using a smallish center/guard working very well in that system; kinda why we traded Graham for a big All-Pro center in Max Unger...

But there are always those guys that conventional football logic and reason do not match up to on the field. He has a great shot at being one those players.
